Ah, secrets . . . they never stay secrets for long, do they? In Saving Ruby King, Layla does everything she can to protect her best friend Ruby from her violent father — even though Layla is prohibited from seeing Ruby by her preacher father. Layla doesn't give up, and learns a lot of dark secrets about her family along the way; things that have been hidden for generations. This is a thrilling story about faith, family secrets, and the police's dismissal of a murder in a Black Chicago neighbourhood.
